About this smoothie

This smoothie borrows the pineapple and coconut pairing of the piña colada and leaves out the rum. The nectarine rounds off the sharpness of the pineapple with its gentle, peachy flavour. Nectarines have smooth skin, so there is no need to peel them.

Pineapple and nectarine both contribute vitamin C, coconut milk brings richness. It works as a sweet breakfast, a snack on a hot day or a simple alcohol-free drink for guests.

Bartender tips

  • Freeze the pineapple chunks beforehand for a thick, slushy texture.
  • A few drops of lime juice sharpen the flavour if the fruit is very sweet.

Variations

Peach version
Use a ripe peach instead of the nectarine; peel it if the fuzz bothers you.
